Ed Leafe wrote If someone posts a question, how do you know if they have received an answer yet? I would say that for questions I've posted, well over half of the replies were off-list. Many of those times, someone had already answered me; the second poster could have saved their time if they knew that an answer was already given.
Look, the simple answer to this is that all decent mail reading software gives you the choice to either reply directly to the poster, or to the poster and the list, or to the list. Who are you to say "no, you must reply to the list", and to make the mailing list software mangle headers in an attempt to make this happen?
